We are pleased to announce our all new custom paint configuration tools for the ESX, ESX-R and Altum range of bikes!

Designed from the ground up to allow riders and our dealers to design their own paint schemes on both PC/Mac computers and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, the new configurators are simple to use yet allow for intricate and personalized designs to be created quickly and simply.

We are excited to announce that we will be presenting our full 2015 product range at the Eurobike expo in Friedrichshafen, Germany from August 26th to August 30th. We will have our full model range for press and retail visitors to test ride Tuesday the 26th at Demo Day, Stand DD-819 and inside the exhibition center we will have all the new models on display.

We are donating a brand new, state of the art ESX with full Ultegra 11s Gruppo to Team Kermit as a PMC fundraiser. And this year we have gone the extra mile by donating an amazing selection of second, third and fourth place prizes. Remember, all proceeds go to the PMC so keep reading!

Included in the package is the complete build and pro fit by Roy Cervantes of Grace Bicycles. Roy is a man filled with humanity and compassion and is a Master Fitter. The personal, professional Retül http://gracebicycles.com/articles/retul-3d-motion-capture-bicycle-fit-pg100.htm fit by Roy alone (not to mention the cost of the build) is a $275 value.
